New York University School of Medicine has an upcoming CME course on Robotic Thoracic Surgery this June (10th & 11th). The day and a half course will be held at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City.
The conference covers robotic surgery basics as well as lectures on robotic esophagectomies and mediastinal surgery. Robotic master surgeon, Dr. Robert Cerfolio will be giving two presentations.

Dr. Inderpal Sarkaria from the renown University of Pittsburgh Esophageal & Lung Surgery Institute will be giving a presentation on esophagectomies by the robotic approach. Dr. Sarkaria is the newest thoracic surgeon at the UPMC program run by Dr. James Luketich.
While it is a short conference, it’s a chance for interested thoracic surgery professionals to learn more about establishing a robotic surgery program. It is also part of a larger robotic surgery conference, the Second Annual NYU Langore Multi-Specialty Robotic Surgery Course.
All robotic surgery enthusiasts, fellows and interested surgeons – can register for the course here. Allied health professionals are encouraged to attend.
